Inspired by the Italian version we got to play in Trani, the girls and I made our own Foreign Language BINGO game. Naturally we chose French as our language. Surprisingly, it was Audrey who was the most excited about both making the game and playing it.
It is basically played like any other BINGO game except with a few twists. Here's how to play:
1) Each player gets a game grid and a handful of markers (we used mini butterfly noodles. They happen to be Eva's current favorite noodle shape)
2) One player is the caller. The caller first gets to decide what type of pattern will be a BINGO - 4 corners, picture frame, 4 across the bottom or top, diagonal, black out - are some possibilities.
3)Next, the caller reads the word and shows the picture from the top card in the deck.
4) Players put a marker on the picture of the word called if they have it on their game mat.
5) Keep playing until someone gets BINGO!
6) New caller is chosen and another game is played (of course!)
7) Make it harder!! Read the word, but don't show the picture. Ooooo.

This is so fun for all ages. Audrey was absolutely able to play along, mostly by matching pictures. A perfect game to play with out of town guests.
